Boasting an ideal location on a quiet street in Canberra’s much-sought-after inner north, 67 Mackenzie Street is a newly built five-bedroom, three-bathroom home already creating a buzz in the suburb.
Designed for a large family seeking space or a smaller family that values the versatility of a spacious home, this residence is bursting with potential.
“The bedrooms are all very large, each with built-in robes. The master has a walk-in wardrobe, as well as an ensuite. But it’s all very flexible, especially with the downstairs office/bedroom and the kitchenette. The two separate floors function independently, perfect for older kids or intergenerational living,” Luton Properties founder Richard Luton says.
“What this home offers is a completed package with great inclusions, ready to move in.”
With a formal dining area and family room upstairs and a dining/living area downstairs, the lucky family that ends up calling this place home will see a lot of potential.
Set on a large corner block, with a playground to the front and a reserve at the back, the home is a quiet oasis.
“It’s wonderfully peaceful and because it backs onto a reserve, the rear entertaining area is so private,” Richard says.
The backyard is the entertainment centre of the home, featuring an alfresco dining area with a fan and TV, a tended, landscaped garden, and a tiled, solar-heated swimming pool. All these elements combine to create a truly special place for gatherings, big and small.
“You can so easily picture Sunday barbecues, summer days in the pool or just quiet evening dinners with the family, it’s a versatile space,” Richard says.
“The home has all the inclusions and features one could want in a new home. No expense has been spared, and there are some really nice touches and flourishes throughout that make the home special.”
Features such as the recycled Canberra red brick feature wall and the spotted gum timber floors make it an aesthetically pleasing home, while never compromising on quality and convenience.
Part of that convenient design is the living and dining area, as well as the outdoor and pool area, which flow seamlessly into each other, allowing kids to swim outside while parents can keep an eye on them.
“You get those visual touches that enhance the home, but it also has heaps of features and design aspects to make daily life more comfortable and easy, such as double-glazed windows, five-car accommodation, under-house storage, a ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling system and a security system,” Richard says.
Positioned on a corner block in the quiet and much-desired suburb of Hackett, the best of the inner north is available practically on the home’s doorstop. For the best of the city’s shopping and dining, Civic is a short 10-minute drive away, and nature lovers and hikers alike will make use of the Mount Majura trails and lookouts a stone’s throw away.
Parents can look forward to a wide range of schools in the local area, some of which are within walking distance, as well as ACU.
“This home is really a great opportunity to get into the suburb. Hackett is one of the best spots to live in Canberra, and new builds are going up all the time,” Richard says.
With a timeless design, practical features, thoughtful layout and great location in one of Canberra’s up-and-coming suburbs, 67 Mackenzie Street is already making waves.
“We’ve held inspections already and people are very interested. Everyone loves the location and once they’re inside, the design continues to surprise them,” Richard says.
